Description

Extremely rare separately issued map of Georgia, published by J.T. Lloyd. During the Civil War, J.T. Lloyd ambitiously issued a series of large separately issued maps, including his well known re-issue of the Herman Boye map of Virginia, Map of the Lower Mississippi and several maps of the US. In addition to these maps, Lloyd also issued extremely rare maps of Missouri, Tennessee and Georgia, often printed on the back of the more common previously referenced maps. Of the group, the Georgia is by far the rarest, as evidenced by the quality of the example in the Library of Congress, which has substantial loss to the printed image. The map contains a wonderful depiction of Georgia, hand colored by counties and with remarkable detail in the treatment of its roads, railways, towns, rivers, etc., including some distances between stations. In addition, there is a fascinating note that Lloyd's maps should not be confused with those of another Lloyd who hopes to deceive with spurious Lloyd Maps, coursely printed on wood. . . There is also a testimonial from Lt. General Grant as to the quality and accuracy of the Virginia map, a catalogue of Lloyd's other printed maps, an advertisement seeking agents and a note that the map can be purchased uncolored for 50 cents, colored for $1.00 and on linen for $2.00. Anyone finding an error is entitled to a free map! A tremendous rarity, freshly laid on modern linen, with a few minor spots a some very minor loss at old fold intersections. An essential Georgia map.
